Testimonials - Candidates
"Needing to find a new job is just one of the many problems that you face if you have decided to start a new life in Australia. I was expecting the job seeking process would be slow and painful given that I was on the other side of the planet and also my lack of familiarisation of the local job market. However Sara had made it so easy with her prompt responses to every correspondence, background information of potential employers and expert advice on local job market. Sara's understanding of my personal career drive and motivation meant she was able to identify roles that meet my requirement quickly and efficiently. Her excellent negotiation skills also helped secure an employment package that suit my personal need."
Chris Fu | Senior Process Engineer
Roc Oil
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Sara Dann for several years. During the years of our acquaintance, Sara has represented me in identifying and approaching various professional opportunities within the oil and gas sector. Sara’s enthusiasm about what she do shows clearly and her “never give up” attitude is always admirable."
"Even though Sara is not of technical background, her understanding of technical issues was remarkable, communicating with different organisations in the representation of someone with over 37 years of versatile international experience behind them such as myself. I felt very confident that she presented my skills in a very professional and skilful manner, this was proven by the number of interviews and indications of interest I have received whist Sara was looking for new challenges for me."
"Sara is an intelligent, capable, dedicated, persevering and personable young lady. She is always quick on her feet, with sensible reactions in all the circumstances I've known her in. I feel confident in saying that she is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness."
Moshtak Othman | Principle Petroleum Resource Adviser
Department of Primary Industries, Government of Victoria
"On hearing that my employment contract was coming to an end I formulated a plan to market my skills through known contacts to tap into the invisible job market and developed a strategy to market myself to the recruitment consultants specialising in my industry. Over the course of three months I wrote over a hundred application letters or expressions of interest and received a handful of replies. Many of the replies were automated responses. One company however stood out from the rest. Sara Dann took a personal interest in my applications, and went the extra mile to try to match me up with an employer. The regular phone calls to discuss possibilities and the support given during my search period helped keep my spirits high and my enthusiasm levels topped up. A positive mind produces positive results.
Thank you for the support,encouragement and the personal touch."
Peter James | HSEC Manager
"Sara demonstrates a very high level of professionalism and integrity in her dealings with candidates and blends this with her friendly and outgoing personality. I am pleased to recommend Sara to anyone seeking a new position or seeking new staff."
Stephen Tomlin | Chief Geoscientist
Bass Strait Oil, Melbourne
"Thanks again for the highly personal and innovative approach you took with finding me a new role. Without your lateral thinking and abilities to see more than just a CV I would not be where I am today. Very few HR consultants look past the bare facts on a sheet to paper to understand what the job really entails and what a candidate really does. You are by far the most effective I have worked with when it comes to these skills. Many, many thanks."
Jason Storey | Senior Geophysicist
Central Petroleum Limited
"I have been fortunate to have Sara job hunting on my behalf recently. She delivered and it was no accident! After an extensive interview, she demonstrated an uncanny feeling for my technical and management skills and found just the right company position at a time when the market conditions were tough. She showed determination, patience and her personal connections and network gave me the opportunity to be represented to companies that I otherwise would not have been presented to. Her attention to following up leads, keeping me informed of progress and passing on feedback was very much appreciated. I could not commend Sara more highly for anyone that is seeking the right position for them in the oil and gas industry."
Mark Fenton | Oil & Gas Executive
"With a personal preference for interesting and varied work rather than ‘climbing the corporate ladder’ in a single organization, finding a medium or long term role can sometimes be a delicate balance between employer requirements and employee needs. Sara listened carefully to my own personal circumstances, and was able to identify a position that was a good fit for my experience and skills set but also one that was prepared to offer the sort of flexible working arrangements that would allow me to still honor the remainder of my existing work commitments. She worked hard to track down the key decision making personnel to get that all important face to face interview, and her knowledge of market conditions was also able to secure a competitive remuneration for me. Her professional attitude and attention to detail means I will not hesitate to use her services again when looking for another opportunity in the future."

"Sara successfully recruited two experienced Process Engineers for my organisation during a period of very difficult market conditions. Sara came up with credible alternative options.
